Corporate Watch launch Corporate Rule project

Corporate Watch have just launched there latest project called Corporate Rule. It is intended to be a dynamic showcase for some of the best independent, corporate-critical reseach on corporate power – sparking debate and provoking action.

The web-based resource features new and old research into the relationships between corporations and various social, economic and political structures and institutions. The project aims to explore the mechanisms deployed by corporations in exercising and accumulating their power over the decisions made in what are often called ‘democratic’ countries, with a specific focus on how this plays out in the UK, and the ways in which corporate ideologies and discourses facilitate this by co-opting and/or suppressing people’s active democratic participation.

The project also highlights alternatives to this mode of living and organising, providing examples of real democracy in action and looking at ways forward in opposing corporate rule.
